A task force has recommended that pilots start flying tighter patterns around Falcon Field Airport in Mesa, Ariz.

The recommendations are among 20 crafted by the Falcon Field Task Force, a seven-member citizens group appointed by City Manager Chris Brady to seek a community-wide approach to resolving complaints about aircraft noise at the nation’s fourth busiest GA airport, according to a story in the Arizona Republic.

The story quotes Mesa Mayor Scott Smith, who is a pilot and the owner of two airplanes, as saying:

“If we can get pilots flying consistent patterns and follow what every pilot is trained to follow, it solves a lot of our problems.”

Be a better informed pilot.
